I've never been a fan of drama, my inner child just wants everyone to get along, but our world is harsh to such hopeful dreams. It's one reason why I want to see communism achieved, so the fighting can finally end, though I might not live to see it I at least want to assure it happens. Even the wreckers or those who act like them are just so sad and unfortunate, they don't realize the beautiful world that they are fighting against being born, or realize they are fighting it rather then helping it in the case of those who aren't trying to wreck but still making those kinds of mistakes.

It is just such a thing to think about, you know, that even the worst of the worst could have been the best of the best had their circumstances only been different. I know what it is like to drown in darkness struggling to hold on, so it makes me so sad when others are lost to it, if only they can discover that blazing light of hope that is the common interest of all humanity laying beneath the surface of false consciousness, that burns brightest in the Comrades of both past Revolutions and current Socialist countries, and yet exists in all of us as a common heritage, that they too can find and be saved by. I've been an atheist my whole life (since a traumatic event happened when I was just a toddler) but I feel like I've discovered the human spirit, not in some metaphysical or ideological way, but that exists in actual, physical reality, in between the interactions between humans with each other, and with the environment that is the bases of our existence, the human spirit that exists in the very fabric of society itself. I want to know more of it and I want others to know it as well.

After it's all said and done, leftists from the US and Europe will be the most inconsequential part of ending capitalism, both despite and because of their proximity to capital.

When it comes to the actors actually achieving progress for the people of the world outside of the imperial core, which western organizations are doing the most to support them? Who is uplifting their messages to the most people? Who is organizing the most demonstrations advocating for them in the US? Who is in the streets spreading their perspectives? PSL is the only contender by a long shot, and at the height of their success in this anyone trying to wreck and split them is themselves a counter revolutionary and even aligned with imperialism. They are the compatible left that they accuse the people doing real tangible work of being and it's blatant if you look beyond rhetoric and focus on the facts at hand. I've never been in PSL or tried to join but it's not hard to seek truth from facts for anyone who so desires
